    Attractive:
    Disproportionately large breasts.
    Able to drive/has a license.
    Some sense of independence.
    A level of house-proudness (for lack of a better term... ie; someone who will clean up after themselves and not let their surroundings go to sh'te out of laziness).


    Unattractive:
    Smoker.
    Layabout type (i don't mind someone on the dole, but i hate the person that's the stereotype).
    Social Media obsessed.
    Life revolves around childishly wanting to get drunk, or constant stories of embarrassing things down when drunk before (like it's something to be proud of, or an achievement of some kind :rolleyes: ).



    I'm 30, and have many friends who still seem to be 10. A lot of people I know will literally get up about of bed about 2-3pm, and play videogames all day, then go to bed about 4-5am. Their parents will feed them, clean up after them, etc. it's embarrassing.

    I'm still living at home, myself (bought the family house, as would never afford to buy a house for myself the way market has gone lately) but i still make an effort to get out and work, and do something. I clean and paint and do shopping and get out as much as I can to contribute to the world in general. I see so many people wrapped up in doing nothing it legitimately makes me wonder where these people will be when their parents die. Not to mention the complete lack of privacy they have at the moment (can't have friends over, etc.) or asking their parents if they can 'go out' (as they arent allowed come home too late and wake people up). It's bewildering.

    Haha :D:D


    You know what I mean though :) I volunteer cleaning graffiti around the town, I do food drops from Tesco to a local charity, I'll help friends with day-to-day tasks if they're stuck, I'll clean litter up around the place. Common sense stuff, or things I can help with that don't exactly require a lot of effort, but make a difference to other people.


    I just notice a lot of people are completely wrapped up in themselves, and the thought of doing something they don't directly benefit from is completely bewildering to them. I just don't get that attitude. But to each their own, as they say.

    Kindness No1 and a sense of humour a close 2nd! As I get older I put a lot less focus on looks. The sad thing is, I would have let kind, funny lads go in favour of some passing ride in my superficial early twenties.


    This is exactly what I'm dealing with now. I'm a male in my 20's and I pride myself on being kind and also on being respectful to women. I wouldn't be overly handsome so couple this with my personality, I'm losing out to the cocky, louder fellas. I would have a bubbly personality and love making people laugh but I know I don't come across overly exciting. I refuse to change though and I'm waiting for my 30's where my personality will be in demand......I hope lol[/quote]

    Vocal fry and extreme extroversion are by far the two sexiest things in my view. I'm always instantly drawn to the loudest, most energetic woman in a room - and if her vowels scratch or purr against the bottom of her vocal register when she talks (think Californian "Valley Girl" accent)... Boy oh boy ��

    I've been chatting to this girl on a dating app, who seems pretty cool and she's good looking, but she keeps sending me pictures of herself and her nieces/nephews etc with bunny ears and noses and the pictures are all touched up etc. She was asking me for my Instagram account and Facebook, I don't use either, so I think they may be picture filters for these things. Anyway the whole thing has just totally turned me off her, imagine going out with someone who's constantly taking photos of you and selfies etc. She's 36 ffs! Non merci!

    A sense of humour, a sense of style, must love animals, likes to laugh, likes new things, likes the outdoors, likes food, must love music but hate modern pop/rock music, hates social media, is kind, has a cute tush, someone that listens and pays attention (especially with long lingering eye contact), someone who is in touch with their emotions, a pretty and kind face, is clean and tidy, someone strong who can stand up for themselves, independent, trustworthy, honest, confident. Also no make-up/low maintenance.

    I think out of all the above, I'd settle for someone who is just kind :)






    Actually scratch that. A nice tush will do for me :p

    Attractive traits: empathy, femininity, being a non smoker.
    Physically I’m very attracted to slim girls so that is a preference.

    Is this common that people don't do this? I always see this listed but I have never been out with anyone who wasn't polite to service staff,maybe I've been lucky!

    It's actually quite common. I've ended dates when my date was curt with the waiter or slapped a 20 on the table rather than hand it to the girl who brought over the drinks

    From reading the thread it seems that women like height, shoulders and hands and the lads like a nice arse and boobs.

    I suppose that's what evolution programmed us to look for.

    You forgot hips, evolution programmes men to be attracted to women with "child bearing hips" as my mother used to call them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,147 ✭✭✭Mister Vain


    The two main things would be:

    Non-smoker
    Non-ugly

    A nice personality is a bonus.

    Covered under my earlier description of "curves"

    These slim, shapeless girls do nothing for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 346 ✭✭TheFortField


    I’m not looking but if I was...

    I love confident, intelligent and opinionated men - if I can’t have a heated debate with him, there will be zero passion in the bedroom.

    Accents - certain accents are a big turn on for me.

    Rugged looking - I’m not attracted to men who are overly groomed.

    I’m happy to do most DIY/Gardening projects myself but I love a man with a skill I haven’t got - ie: the ability to fix cars, wiring/plumbing and setting mouse traps :o

    Ah no for me I don’t have a specific type as in a certain height, hair colour etc. However I do find women who wear a lot of make up and fake tan off putting a normal amount of either can look fine though. Personality and an honest genuine character would be important to me someone that’s not shallow which tbh seems to be proving difficult to find these days especially around my age group (early-mid 20’s)

    The majority of women do not find their husband attractive. Only a small percentage of men are sexually attractive to women, say around 10% or so for argument's sake.

    A study on OK Cuppid for example found that women find around 80% of men below averagein terms of attractiveness if I recall correctly. This makes sense evolutionarily, a woman's eggs are expensive, she should avoid wasting them on suboptimal men so the attraction mechanism in her head only gives her attraction for the top men. Most men for example would have sex with an average woman as sperm is cheap, most women would not have sex with an average man as eggs are expensive

    This leaves women with a dilemma, if they want a family most women need to settle down with a man who they don't find sexually attractive. There is a reason there are so many memes based on sexless marriages, because there is a lot of truth to it that people can recognise. Even when there is sex in these marriages it is usually transactional in nature rather than out of genuine desire as the wife knows that she has to at least give her husband sex occasionally, even if that means boring routine sex.

    The husband infers from his married sex life that his wife just isn't really into sex, the truth is she just isn't into sex with him :D

    Little does he realise that there is a good chance his wife had genuine desire sex with desirable men in her younger, where she begged for her partner to cum on her ass/tits/face and fukc her in the ass. He couldn't fathom that as a possibility as he never gets to see her true sexual nature as it lies dormant within her. But it is a lot more likely than many husbands realise.

    These husbands are often controlled in subtle ways by their wives, the wives use their sexual agency to control them. This is why the sex is transactional, they only get it if they are a good little boy and do what their told. As a result their wives lose respect for them which makes the husbands even more unappealing sexually.

    Many of these huaband's believe that their wives wouldn't have casual sex as they were made to wait for months. Little do they know that it just takes the right man in the right place and they would have casual sex.

    As a rule of thumb, if a woman makes you wait for sex it usually isn't worth the wait. Before a man has a monogomous relationship he should ensure that he can regularly have casual sex with attractive women so that he knows he has value sexually to women.

    Ok. If you want a discussion, why do you think that only 10% of men are attracted to women? I would consider that figure extremely low.

    Why do you think I'm being hostile?

    I think you are jaded because of your depressing views on relationships between men and women. You might be full of energy but it sounds like you are directing that energy towards MGTOW, rather than finding a healthy relationship that full fills you.
